Announcement

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at NIST is actively engaged in helping organizations address the challenge of ransomware and other data integrity events through the Data Integrity projects. These projects help organizations implement technical capabilities that address data integrity issues. The objective of this document is to provide an overview of these Data Integrity projects, provide a high-level explanation of the architecture and capabilities, and explain how these projects can be brought together into one comprehensive data integrity solution.
